At 50mph (the speed limit of the road) on a dry road a good to average stop is 26 metres. Of course based on a well maintained car.
Quite clearly the Morgan driver is at fault but the pug seems to be travelling at quite a speed at impact, could the Morgan driver been caught out by checking seeing a car further away, calculating it's a 50mph road so plenty of time and pulled out?
They are figures for the GTIAt 50mph (the speed limit of the road) on a dry road a good to average stop is 26 metres. Of course based on a well maintained car.

A Morgan pulls out from a carshow and straight into the path of a 206 and sends it flying....

Yes lots of topics on the morgan v peugeot!
As a Peugeot driver, it was 100% the Morgans fault
No but seriously, people are saying why the pug didnt go hard on the brakes, for gods sake, its an OLD 206, probably doesn't have ABS, its shocks may have 100k+ on them and its going to have the same type of tyres it had from the factory, or would it have the cheapest alternative available? its braking distance is going to be a factor of all the above and the drivers skill/ability.
The words "if in doubt, don't pull out" didn't apply to the Morgan driver and he paid for it.

You merge AT tHE MERGE POINT, as the road/ road works are designed and laid out.
It isn't pushing in, it is using the road as it were designed to be used to best effect.
Anyone that can't understand this is part of the problem and shouldn't even be allowed on the road.
If every one used the road as they were designed and merged in turn, AT THE FECKING MERGE POINT, then traffic would flow much better.
Trying to stop people who are using the road as it is supposed to be used cause bottle necks which in turn slows everyone else down behind as well as yourself.
A lot of people on here need to take their head out of their arse and start driving to the road layout and stop accusing everyone else of pushing in. If you want to sit in the queue well before the merge point then that is all on you. tts.

I can 100% guarantee that the Audi driver moved from the left to right lane to jump the queue, which in my mind is pushing in.It isn't pushing in, it is using the road as it were designed to be used to best effect.

sorry you are actually wrong here, merge in turn reduces traffic queue length (back up), not increased throughput, as you seem to think.
My point is if everyone allowed others to merge instead of playing sillybks then traffic would flow better. As soon as everyone tries to defend 'their' position it slows the whole thing down even further.carlpea said:

It doesn't matter a jot what went on before.
There was a point where by doing nothing for a second or so, she would have pulled ahead and no harm would have been done to anyone.
But instead he took the deliberate decision to close the door on her.
We all face hundreds of situations every day - we can either make things easy or make things difficult.
If you are in a shop and queuing up and someone pushes in front of you, do you do what you are saying now just think oh well its not worth it and let them do it?. If so you are a coward and that's why we now live in a society full of selfish tits who don't give a crap about anyone but themselves.

People think because they are in a metal box they they can barge and push in where ever they like. I suspect you are defending her because you do exactly the same and push in at the last minute. Well if you, she or anyone else ever comes up at the side of me after I have already let someone merge in front of me you wouldn't be getting in guaranteed. Just as if someone in shop did it they would be told to get to the back of the queue in no polite terms.
Do you also liken overtakers to queue jumpers?
Get over yourself
